Wasn’t sure what to expect, last of four bottles bought at the winery in Oregon in 2000. Surprised! Still clear garnet color with little bricking. Still fresh but muted aromas of strawberry and oak, on the pallet, good display of more strawberry and cherry, refined tannins. Lithe in the mouth, with a long finish of fruit, balanced acidity, very refined tannins and a bit of wood and light minerality. Still fresh after 23 years in the bottle!
